On Wednesday, in an emotionally charged courtroom in Alabama, Beth Holloway, the grieving mother of Natalee Holloway, delivered a scathing condemnation of Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch national who has long been suspected in the disappearance of her daughter nearly two decades ago, according to the New York Post.
The heart-wrenching scene unfolded as Beth Holloway spoke directly to the man who, she maintains, has tormented her family for years. Beth Holloway accused van der Sloot of killing Natalee because he did not get "sexual satisfaction" from her and lashed out with a cinder block in a fit of rage. He then made the chilling statement that he carried her body into the sea.
Van der Sloot's confession came as part of a plea deal related to U.S. federal charges of extorting money from the Holloway family. The Holloway family paid van der Sloot on the condition he would lead them to Natalee's body, but he ultimately misled them and escaped to Peru, where he later killed Stephany Flores, another woman who had rejected him. As a result, he is now serving a 28-year sentence in Peru for that crime.
In court, Beth Holloway painted a striking picture of what her daughter's life could have been, saying, "I think about what kind of doctor she would have become. She would be married, have children — my grandchildren. But you destroyed all this. You terminated her potential, her dreams, and her possibilities when you bludgeoned her to death in 2005."
